Line 3:
----
=== It features example of the following tropes: ===
* [[Abusive Parents]]:
** It has never been confirmed that Reid is from Texas, only that he lived and worked there. Fandom seems to have decided that Reid is from Boston.
* [[And Starring]]: Eileen Fulton as Lisa
Line 14:
* [[Black Comedy Rape]] / [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]] / [[Rape as Drama]]: When a crazed Julia kidnapped her ex-husband Jack, held him prisoner, and eventually forced him to have sex with her (she wanted to get pregnant to replace the baby she's miscarried), the scenes were initially played as dark comedy, something that would never have happened had the genders been reversed. However, the scenes took a much uglier tone when she tried to kill him afterwards, and when he later revealed what had happened to his fiancee, she reacted with horror and sympathy and never once blamed him or insinuated that he was a willing participant.
** When Vienna may have done this to Henry, it's [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Bury Your Gays]]: Reid and Reg.▼
* [[But Not Too Gay]]: Noah and Luke actually had a fan instituted countdown in between their kisses. They went 211 days in between two kisses and it took them 514 days from their first meeting to get their first love scene. This is unusual, particularly in the Soap Opera media where romance and love scenes happen frequently.
** Luke and Reid never even got to have sex.
▲* [[Bury Your Gays]]: Reid and Reg.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Henry, so much.
* [[Camp Straight]]: Henry.
Line 26:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Lucinda, Dusty, Craig.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Luke as one for Reid, for example.
* [[Dr. Jerk]]: Reid does care deeply for his patients, but anyone who watched the scene where he was going on about how awesome a woman having a rare something was because he got to show his genius by performing a extremely experimental procedure, only blithely acknowledging that his failure would be worse for her (as in, she would either be a vegetable or dead) than it would be for him can be forgiven for thinking otherwise.▼
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: The Noah/Luke/Reid love triangle. Literally.
▲* [[Dr. Jerk]]: Reid does care deeply for his patients, but anyone who watched the scene where he was going on about how awesome a woman having a rare something was because he got to show his genius by performing a extremely experimental procedure, only blithely acknowledging that his failure would be worse for her (as in, she would either be a vegetable or dead) than it would be for him can be forgiven for thinking otherwise.
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]
* [[Elevator Failure]]: It is a Soap Opera, after all.
Line 43:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Reid.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Craig.
* [[Kissing Discretion Shot]]: Mostly done concerning Luke and Noah.▼
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Usually only happens when the actor died.
▲* [[Kissing Discretion Shot]]: Mostly done concerning Luke and Noah.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: One of Reid's best contributions to the show.▼
* [[Littlest Cancer Patient]]

Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]: In particular, Lily Snyder and her son Luke spring to mind but they aren't the only ones.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]
▲* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: One of Reid's best contributions to the show.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Lucinda, although she seems to handle things better when her grandchildren are involved rather than her children; many argue that Lily being so screwed up is due to Lucinda herself.
* [[Married to the Job]]
